Thauma Energy Projects (TEP) is a 100% black female owned company operating in the Renewable energy Sector. We produce and sell biodiesel which is an alternative and environmentally friendly fuel manufactured from biodegradable waste and sell it as a B5 Blend which is a combination of (5% biodiesel and 95% of petroleum diesel) in line with the SANS 342 which allows a maximum biodiesel content of 5% (B5). B5 is approved for use by most diesel automobile , truck manufacturers and any other compression-ignition engines that are designed to be operated on petroleum diesel without requiring any modification to the engine. Biodiesel is not only affordable when compared to petroleum diesel, it is good for our environment as it reduces the Greenhouse Gas Emission and provides lubricity which reduces friction within the moving parts of the engine avoiding additional wear.

Every batch that we produce is tested by an accredited laboratory using SANS 1935 Specification as the reference to ensure compliance before it can be sold to the customers. We sell the biodiesel as a blended B5, however customers are also able to buy pure biodiesel i.e. 100% biodiesel and blend on their own. Customers are encouraged to strictly comply with SANS 342 when blending for themselves and ensure that both the biodiesel and the petroleum diesel are well mixed and circulated together to ensure that the resultant product is a B5 blend.
